Faults

It is described as the sudden shaking and trembling caused by the sudden release of energy inside the Earth

• Fault

• Friction

• earthquake

• Seismology

It is the study of earthquakes

• Fault

• Earthquake

• Seismology

• Friction

Earthquakes happen along the fault line. Which of the following is not true about faults?

• It can be found inland

• It is where fault cyclone happens

• It is the break in the Earth's crust

• none of the above

The process refers to the fast movement between two sides of a fault wherein the friction is overcome resulting in a sudden movement or shaking of the ground

• stick and shake

• stick and bend

• stick and vibrate

• stick and slip

Earthquakes are common in Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Why is this so?

• they are located near the equator

• they are considered archipelagic countries

• They are found within the Pacific Ring of Fire

• They are surrounded by seas

What will most likely happen every time a fault slips?

• There will be no movement at all

• The rocks will suddenly slip and will generate an earthquake

• the rocks will be stuck together

• there will be moving right away

What Philippine agency is concerned with monitoring fault movement?

• PHIVOCS

• PAGASA

• DOLE

• DENR

Energy from the inside of the Earth makes the ground move. Which of the following is the reason why there is no movement right away?

• Friction causes a delay in the movement of the ground

• The rapid release of energy causes a delay in the movement of the ground

• there is no movement right away because of the bending of the rocks

• there is no movement right away because of the vibration of the rocks

Which factor keeps the rocks from slipping past each other?

• the depth of the rock

• the roughness of the rock

• the arrangement of the rock

• the bending of the rock

Which of these is NOT a reason to study earthquakes?

• Earthquakes help us to understand the nature

• it allows the scientist to study more about the inner layer of the Earth

• It will make you feel anxious every time you felt something in the ground

• understanding earthquakes help us to prepare and respond to disasters
